5/11-5/15 Music Activities

1.) Practice: Brown Belt: Amazing Grace
I recorded a mini lesson to teach you the Brown Belt! Go to the "Recorder Karate" tab and find the video to practice! I've also attached the video below. If you are ready to try out for a belt, remember to let me know by filling out the Google form!

2.) LISTEN:We will be reviewing what we know about the families of the orchestra in the next few weeks. Enjoy this silly story about a boy called Farkle McBride as he searches for the perfect instrument to play. 

3.) Learn: Treble Clef worksheetLast week we worked on reviewing space notes so this week… you guessed it! We will review line notes using this worksheet. Fill it out and send me a photo of your work at: jina_han@psbma.org
4.) PLAY: Now that we know all the notes in a C Major scale we will begin practicing them and working towards playing smoothly and beautifully. Practice the C Scale Exercise #1 every day and make sure to play through it 3-4 times. I included a picture of the fingering for “F” here because I know that note can be a little tricky. I’ve also added a fingering chart in case you don’t have the one in your music binder! Please note that there is no F sharp or B flat in the C Major scale. You can ignore those notes when you’re looking at the chart!

Here are the recordings:
5.) RHYTHM CHALLENGE:
Beat and rhythm are two different things that are both really important for skilled musicians to master. This Rhythm Challenge has you switch back and forth between a steady beat (pat your legs) and rhythm patterns (clap your hands). Can you clap along with these patterns and keep the beat?
